About Arensbak

Award-winning products in 2024 -ARENSBAK Non-Alcoholic (Proxy Wine). ARENSBAK has deep roots in Copenhagen. The fine drops of ARENSBAK are crafted by sommelier Emilie Øst-Jacobsen and flavor designer Bram Kerkhof. The purpose was to create a tasteful and complex drinking experience without alcohol building flavours from the ground up and pushing the boundaries of flavours through fermentation. Emilie is our very own sommelier and the architect behind Arensbak's flavor composition. She is an expert in flavor combinations and has carefully identified each flavor and ingredient that you can taste and scent in Arensbak's wine proxies. Emilie is a trained waiter and sommelier from Michelin-starred King Hans Kælder and Restaurant Alchemist. Bram is nothing but a genius when it comes to microbiology and fermentation. He has a background at Noma specializing in fermentation and possesses a natural talent for developing new flavor compositions and experiences. Fermented tea was chosen as the foundational element in ARENSBAK. Just like grapes, tea can have a complex flavor profile with incredible taste and aromas. ARENSBAK won gold, silver and commended at the World Alcohol-Free Awards 2024 in London.Read their story
